National league Headquarters Removed

National League Headquarters Removed.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-It is asserted on good
authority that the Irish National League
has removed all its documents and papers to
London for safety. This appears intensely
humorous; a persecuted body moving its
place Of operations to the sea- whence the
order for its determination proceeded, and
under tie very noses Of its prosecutors, to
concoct plans and issue orders for the exc
tion of them. 1t is, however, a realization
of threat cast out long ago. that if the
league was proclaimed it would continue its
work in England, Wales and Scotland.
What is a crime in Ireland is not in the rest
of the kingdom, and although proclaimed in
Ireland the league is still free to carry on
its work outside chat much ruled country.
Of course everybody knows that the procla-
nation Of the league was last act of a fast
expiring ministry, and with the exception of
few cases nothing of Importance will be
lone, but it will be of immense interest to
the government to obtain possession of the
leagues papers, and it ie wise provision on
the part of the league to protect these valu-
able pieces of property. However ludicrous
it seems London is at present much safer
place for them than Dublin.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Condemnsd by all
England, criticized by the whole civilized
world, Home Secretary Matthews has been
under the aban of popular disapproyal. for
some time. past. Beginning withIthe Miss
Cass case, in which he was indirectly in

Lipski, the Hebrew murderer, which comes
under his immediate jurisdiction, Mr. Mat
thews has been subjected to unfavorable
comment from one end of England to the
other. His old enemy, the Pail Mall Ga
zette, has lest no opportunity of giving him
hard rub. In no case have the criticisms
and taunts been more vituperative than in
this affair of the young Jew, Lipski, whom
everyone believed to be innocent.
But mighty revulsion Of feeling has
come, and Mr. Matthews will be given Q
chance to pose as a martyr and object OK

confessed to the murder of his nelghbors

The announcement made some time
ago that the type writer records in the
departments in Washington were fading
caused quite a furry in nearly every big
office and business house in the city, as
the type writer is now quite extensively
used. There are, it is said, between
40 900 and 80, 900 in use in this country.
Many wills are now prepared with type
writers, and it will thus be seen that
much depends on the ink. Other legal
documents, scarcely less important, are
now written with the machine. After
considerable quiet investigation. it has
been found that the fault lay in the
quality Of ink used. Black record rib
bons, whose ink is made of lamp black,
and the indelible copying ribbons insure
permanency for the writing. The mat
ter was so important that the examiner
of the chemical division Of the United
States patent Office investigated it at the
request of the secretary Of the treasury.
He found that with the two ribbons
mentioned the ink is driven more deeply
into the paper than with a pen, and is
less susceptible to chemical agencies for
removing il. This assurance has again
brought the machine back into use, and
we are making wills with il the same as
before. Lawyer in Globe Democrat.

The Superior Sort Of Courage.

There Is proneness to look only to
openly demonstrated heroism for
age and never to grant its existence else
where. Courage, however, is not essen
TALLY a matter of noise and bombast, but
nor often Of the EXTREMIST quiet. The
man who, in the midst of poverty and
privation, tolls unflinchingly and uncom-
plainingly for the ~sustenance of his fam
lily, in full consciousness of the fact that
he a never rise superior to his misfor-
tune, is a nan Of courage. The man
who, intrusted with vast sums OF gold,
which he might, if he would, make his
own, but who faithfully deals back to
each creditor his due-he is a man OF
courage. The man who has views which
are in advance of his age, and with them
sufficient daring to coolly express and
calmly discuss them-he also has our
age; but the bravest man of all-the one
who has the best and most unimpeacha-
BILE right and claim to courage is the
man who TO shield and protect others ac-
cepts open insult and submits unmur-
muringly to open censure, criticism and
indignity. This is harder than heading
an army, harder than wearing a royal
crown, harder than preaching truth and
right to a generation of fools. In all my
life / have known Of but one such man;
and though | never have met him l re-
we're him as a god; and yet the world
would question my sanity if l wrote his
name where it belongs, high up in the
list of heroes.-George Sand in North

London's Breathing Spaces.

The corporation of London has ac-
ouired within the past ten years between
5000 and 1000 acres within the environs
of the city, at a cost Of over 1880, 900,
and has eve gone so far as TO buy up
tracts Of land in the city built over long
ago and 10 eardown buildings in order TO
provide breathing spaces for the people.
These purchases include Epping forest, of
5.34S acres, at cost Of G275, 800; Wan
stead park, 7s3 acres, costing e7,625;
Burnham beeches, 1913 acres; Couldon
common, 347 acres, and West Ham park.

urban parks either created or restored
and opened TO public use under the insti-

spaces are one of the best features Of Lon

open othe public are of value merely as

q Radical Difference I'm Male and Fee
male neutrality-suspicious. Conclusion.
The mechanism Of breathing may be
effected by two separate and distinct
sorts of nerves and muscles. The upper
portion Of the body, including the ribs
and thorax generally, may expand, and
thereby draw air into the lungs. This is
termed costal breathing, literally rib
breathing. On the other hand, the mus
Giles of the abdomen may come into play,
and by depressing the diaphragm, may
thus increase the chest cavity. In this
type, termed abdominal or ~diaphragmatic
breathing, the muscles of the upper part
of the body remain inactive. Boerhaave,
In 1744, observed a radical difference in
male and female breathing. The mas
culine type is abdominal, the female is
costal.
On these premises DIR. Thomas j. Mays,
Of Philadelphia, has based an interesting
investigation. 1t appears highly proba-
BILE that the reason of the costal breath
ing of women is that they compress the
diaphragmatic region with corsets, so as
TO suppress all but costal breathing, and
SC as TO develop the latter highly. DIR.
Mays subjected a number of Indian
women TO examination. He used a mod
iication of Paul Bert's pneumograph.
By this apparatus q trace indicative of
the extent Of chest and Of abdominal
movement was produced so as to show
in graphic form the relative proportions
of the two types Of breathing in the same
subject. The result was hat he found
the majority Of Indian women to breathe
almost entirely with the diaphragm.
Their pneumogriph tracings correspond
ed closely with those of white men. As
the Indian women do not wear corsets,
this investigation tended TO prove that
corsets were the cause of costal breath.
ing.
The most curious conclusion, however,
is the possible influence Of corsets on
consumption. Admitting that they are
the cause of coetal breathing, and accept
ing the theory that costal breathing is a
corrective Of consumption, a plea for
these articles Of attire is at once estab-
lished as preventives of the dreaded NAL.

increased by the consideration that mel
